Short Biography

Dr. Eugene Santos, Jr. received his B.S. ('85) in Mathematics and Computer Science from Youngstown State University, a M.S. ('86) in Mathematics (specializing in Numerical Analysis) from Youngstown State University, as well as Sc.M. ('88) and Ph.D. ('92) degrees in Computer Science from Brown University. He is currently Professor of Engineering in the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. His areas of research interest include artificial intelligence, intent inferencing, social and cultural modeling, computational social science, automated reasoning, decision science, adversarial reasoning, user modeling, natural language processing, probabilistic reasoning, and knowledge engineering, verification and validation, protein folding, virtual reality, and active user interfaces. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and currently, Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Part B, an associate editor for the International Journal of Image and Graphics, and is also on the editorial advisor board for System and Information Sciences Notes and on the editorial boards for Journal of Intelligent Information Systems and Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence. He also has many hobbies including volleyball, music composition, wood working, science fiction, raising goldfish and Koi, and Chinese culture. He was born in 1968 in Columbus, Ohio.
